In ICS, long press on the only headset button would go through to PowerAMP and it would handle it appropriately.
In JB, long pressing toggles Google Now.
How can i let PowerAMP handle this input? (i've already set "Increase priority" in PowerAMP)
Are there other music players/apps i could use?

This is probably the most useful feature for me. I really miss it coming from cyanogenmod. Basically with screen off, you can control next and previous songs by long pressing the volume buttons. It is not available in stock of course. I tried several music apps but no luck. Anyone know of another way?
=.=...not I know off ATM.....
wait...Perfect CWM.....WAIT for AOSP.....WAIT FOR CM9.....WAIT FOR AOKP...
Lmt launcher. Set gesture or pie button to activate back/forward key. Going to do this now
Make sure to set min gesture score/path length lower (50 and 5 work well). Device input 2 is what works for our phone.
Right now I have:
square and diamond for pause/play (key 85)
rightDouble for next song (key 87)
leftDouble for previos (key 88)
updownDouble and downupDouble for wifi toggle
works very well outside of chrome. you'll need to hit the omnibar and then the gesture for it work in chrome

do you know of an app that let skips song just with the volume buttons ??
Folks,
Please suggest me a music player for my international Galaxy S3 running stock everything, that supports long press volume button feature. Basically I am looking for a music player that will let me change tracks by long pressing volume up/down button.
The feature must work when the phone is in locked state and even otherwise.
Thanks.
CM9/10 has this feature. Settings > Sound > Volume rocker music control
Works with the universal API, so any music player that normally accepts inline controls will pick up the signal.
i have my other apps posted on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182431
And this is my little latest app, would like to share with you all:fingers-crossed:

Details:
Take control of your device Volume Rocker with SCREEN OFF if there is Media Playing by:
__1)PRESS 1 TIME on Volume UP/DOWN to Skip Next/Previous song
__2)DOUBLE PRESS to Increase/Lower Volume
Please consider to do the followings if you like my apps:laugh::

This was exactly what i was searching for, but the vibration on triggering is a deal-breaker for me. If you can remove that i could use it. Also, it doesn't disable the long press volume control, and instead it thinks it's a lot of two-presses, hence it skips a lot of songs in one go.
I'm using a Galaxy S3, stock rom, with Android 4.1.2 and the stock music player.
It doesn't work with my brand new S4. I have 4.3 stock ROM using Power Amp
So i have an old pair of headphones from my s3. the play/pause button works fine with the M8, but the volume up/down buttons only skip tracks and not change the volume. i can skip tracks with double/triple pressing the play button. would really like to see something control the media volume with my headphone buttons.
im sure it is... but the xda post i found for it doesn't address what i posted about.

I even purchased the oem headphones on HTC's site that says compatible with M8, still no dice. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.
i have the ones that came with the M8 and i noticed only one button. i just dont get why they need to go in their own direction and remove buttons instead of comply with the current accessories and just add the features. i run with my phone in an armband so a one button remote has limited usefulness.
I am in the exact same boat...When I work out the phone is an athletic armband so I don't really have access to it during my workout. I use these headphones: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005I2IVRO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and I can play/pause by pressing the middle button once and skip tracks forward by double tapping the middle. However, the volume up and volume down buttons are do not function period. Very annoying and hoping there's an Xposed module or an app that can make them work.

Probably a faq:
I’ve installed power amp, and want that to launch instead of the stock music player when hitting the music button. Power amp is working ok.
Don’t see a way to add new actions in button key study factory settings.
Don’t see a way to over-ride the behavior of the existing music action listed in the button key study.
Beyond that question, seems the builtin music app needs to be left running (background) in order for steering wheel button presses to trigger track forward/etc in power amp. How to fix to no longer need the default music app?
